London: Marin Cilic set up a semi-final clash with Gilles Muller at Queen`s Club as the Croatian powered to 6-4, 7-5 victory over Donald Young on Friday.
The world number seven has yet to drop a set in three matches en route to his fourth semi-final appearance at the Wimbledon warm-up event in west London.
Cilic, who also finished as Queen`s runner-up in 2013, was pushed hard by Young, but the former US Open champion fired 11 aces to see off the American world number 55 in one hour and 26 minutes.
"I`m playing really well this week. I`m feeling great on the court," said Cilic, who is chasing his second ATP title this year.
"It is another match without losing serve, so that`s extremely pleasing."
Luxumbourg`s Muller is through to his first Queen`s semi-final after defeating 2010 champion Sam Querrey 6-4, 7-6 (7/5).
Muller has won the first two ATP Tour titles of his career this year, helping him climb to a career-high ranking of 26, and he now has a seven-match winning streak on grass.
The 34-year-old`s huge serve was on full display when he won the `s-Hertogenbosch title on grass last week and once again he used it to devastating effect against Querrey.
Querrey, the 2010 Queen`s champion, is no slouch on grass either, but Muller held his nerve in two tight sets to clinch his first win over the world number 28.
